DONALD McCAIN is looking at Haydock or Bangor as the next port of call for Overturn, who made a scintillating chasing debut at Sandown on Saturday afternoon.

Last season’s Champion Hurdle runner-up has proved himself the best dual-purpose horse around, winning he Northumberland Plate and the Chester Cup on the Flat and the likes of the Galway Plate and the Fighting Fifth Hurdle over the smaller obstacles.

And he proved just as adept over fences when making his eagerly-awaited debut at Sandown over the weekend.

But under Jason Maguire he negotiated the notoriously tough Sandown fences with ease and the front-running eight-year-old is likely to continue his education over fences soon either at Haydock a week on Friday or in a race at Bangor next month named after McCain’s late father, Ginger.

His Cholmondeley-based trainer said: “He’s grand this morning, no problems at all.

“He was magic yesterday. It was a good time and he enjoyed himself. He’s come back fine so it’s all good.

“I’ll have to have a chat with Tim (Leslie, owner) about what we do next, but I’d imagine he’ll run sooner rather than later.

“I’m not sure where he’ll go, but there is a graduation chase at Haydock (November 23) and there is dad’s race at Bangor (Ginger McCain Memorial Novices’ Chase, December 1).
